The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree of the Knights of Columbus is to encourage active Catholic citizenship and foster the spirit of patriotism in members and the community at large. Members of Knights of Columbus Adolfo Camarillo Council #5272 take the Fourth Degree through San Buenaventura Assembly 0082.
The Color Corps members exemplify all the principles of our Order:
- Charity – by the gift of their time and energies necessary to practice, perfect and perform the ceremonials and sword drill;
- Unity – by the united efforts of Sir Knights to practice and perfect a coordinated drill for the good of the Church and the Order;
- Fraternity – by expressing an “Esprit de Corps,” sharing a common desire for drill excellence and camaraderie; and
- Patriotism – by performing precision drill as a salute to God and to country and visually exhibiting a love for both.
